Sony and MS are no different.

It will be a long time before games on the console networks are as cheap as Steam, Google Play, Apple, etc etc.

The answer to your question is Wii U owners have nowhere else to go for games than the eShop.


Thats not quite true, at least microsoft and sony will lower the price of their games over time.  All the games that came out on wii u at launch are still full price on the eshop.  You can buy batman arkham city at retail for 20-30 bucks, but it still 60 on eshop.  Nintendo also has the crappiest digital sales, where it is pretty much the same games on sale week after week.  

On the bright side though, both microsoft and nintendo have made comments recently that they are going to re-evaluate their digital prices.  So maybe things will get cheaper in the future?
